Goddess Symbols
and Sacred Objects
of White Buffalo Calf Woman
Goddess symbols, individualized for each goddess, were incorporated into the worship of
the ancient goddesses, were often worn as jewelry, and also used in the household decor as
talismans to seek the goddesses special gifts, blessings, or protection. A large
number of goddess symbols have survived in statuary and other works of art.
Many of the goddess symbols come from the legends
surrounding a specific goddess and were "characters" in her story. Other goddess symbols were derived
from the rituals used in the ancient rites of worship of these pagan goddesses.
White Buffalo Calf Woman is often
represented by symbols associated with her personality traits and her contribution to her
people. It is not surprizing that many of our ikons representing Native
American civilization and spirituality are derived from the ancient goddess symbols of the
goddess White Buffalo Calf Woman.
